SSIS - How to perform a unit or integration test?

-
Problem:

This question mentions two libraries, both of which aren't maintained and one has broken links to the source and documentation.
SSISUnit was last updated in 2008 and SSIStester has broken links in the documentation and hasn't been updated since 2013.
The answers on social.msdn.microsoft.com also generally point to one of those two libraries, or some sort of custom solution.
Are there any other options?

Solution:

The most Basic way to perform a SSIS Unit Testing is to create your own testing package. Example below:
The Most popular Tools to perform SSIS Unit Testing are the ones you listed:
  • SSISUnit
  • SSISTester
But after making a deep search i found a new way that is BizUnit. BizUnit Framework which is predominantly used for the Biz Unit testing can be customized to test SSIS Package as well. More info in the link below
Also if you mean by testing Package Validation (metadata , connections , ...etc), you can follow my answer in this SO question

Don’t install Hadoop on Windows!

A few years ago, I was hearing from my colleagues “don’t ever think about installing Hadoop on Windows operating system!” . I was not convinced of this saying because I am a big fan of Microsoft products, especially Windows. In the past three years, I worked on three projects where I was asked to build a Hadoop cluster on Ubuntu. The first time, it was a single-node Hadoop installation with a single Apache Spark worker. The other projects were about building a Big Data ecosystem for radiation data engineering , where the multi-node Hadoop cluster is deployed. Besides Hadoop, we installed and configured Apache Kafka, Spark, Hive, Pig, and Flume installations (I have published some installation guides previously, you can check the links at the end of this article). It was hard to become familiar with those technologies for the first time since they don’t have much documentation online. Each time I had to install Hadoop, I was thinking that why always Hadoop is installed on Linu...
